U+6740 "杀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6740 "杀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji or hanzi character that primarily means "to kill" or "to slaughter," functioning as a common logogram in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems. Its simplified form, as opposed to the traditional variant "殺," is widely used in mainland China, while in Japanese it appears in compounds like "殺人" (satsujin, meaning murder) or "殺す" (korosu, the verb for to kill). The character often carries strong connotations of violence, destruction, or intense action, and it is also employed metaphorically in phrases related to ending or diminishing something, such as "杀风景" (shā fēngjǐng, meaning to spoil the fun). This ideograph fundamentally denotes a forceful cessation of life or activity, reflecting its deep roots in East Asian linguistic and cultural contexts.
